Dec 11, 2017 Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are engineering the largest corporate tax cut in history in order "to restore our competitive edge," as Trump says. Dec 4, 2017 It's often thought that Democrats care about fairness and not economic growth, while Republicans care about growth even at the cost of some fairness. Nov 28, 2017 One of the most dangerous consequences of this awful period in American life is the denigration of the truth, and of the institutions and people who tell it. Nov 20, 2017 Why are so many women now speaking out about the sexual abuses they've experienced for years? Is there anything unique about the time we're now living through that has encouraged them to end their silence? Nov 13, 2017 Selling the Donald Trump/Republican tax plan should be awkward for an administration that has made patriotism its central theme. That's because patriotism isn't mostly about saluting the flag and standing during the national anthem. Nov 6, 2017 In a radio interview last week, Donald Trump said that "the saddest thing is, because I am the president of the United States, I am not supposed to be involved with the Justice Department. Oct 31, 2017 You know the plot: The bank robbers set off a bomb down the street from the bank, and while everyone's distracted, they get away with the loot. Oct 24, 2017 The New York Times reports that business groups are meeting frequently with key Republicans in order to shape the tax bill, details of which remain secret.

On Wednesday, President Barack Obama made history by issuing the largest number of commutations this nation has ever seen in one single day. In a move that has critics on multiple sides of the issue crying foul, Mr. Obama commuted the sentences of 214 federal inmates who were incarcerated for low-level drug offenses. President Obama’s commutation totals have now reached 562, but many feel as though the Obama administration has not done enough to shorten the sentences of federal inmates. On Friday’s edition of NewsOne Now, Roland Martin and his panel of guests discussed Mr. Obama’s announcement and if the President has gone far enough in using his constitutional clemency power. NewsOne Now panelist Yolanda Young said, “It’s wonderful what he (President Barack Obama) has done so far, but these commutations don’t go far enough.” Randa Fahmy, Deputy Secretary of Energy, told Martin, “The addiction problem is spreading.” Fahmy shared her belief that the president “has a little more leeway” to use his authority to commute the sentences of non-violent drug offenders. “They don’t need prison – what they need is rehabilitation in the form of other sorts of outpatient treatment, especially if they haven’t committed crimes,” said Fahmy. She continued, “The problem is the restoration of those voting rights.” The former Bush Administration Associate explained there is a considerable amount of pushback against the commutation of the non-violent drug offenders as a result of the current political season we’re in. According to Fahmy, politicians will cry foul over the restoration voting for the formerly incarcerated because “somehow they’re going to try to stack the voting rules in favor of what people assume to be the Democrats.” Watch Roland Martin and the NewsOne Now panel discuss President Obama commuting the sentences of more than 200 low-level drug offenders in the video clip above.

The heart that took the blade belonged To our Republic free and fair, And it was liberty he wronged Destroying it beyond repair. He wanted, like an autocrat, His self-appointed man to judge Without quorum's demands, whereat He slew decorum like a drudge. So to install an ideologue (Albeit also plagiarist) He led his party going rogue, And every vote was a knife twist. Lo! Still the corpse appears to move! McConnell and his crew, crass, coarse, Some innocence would like to prove So voice a smattering of remorse.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A new poll shows Ohio Gov. John Kasich widening his lead over Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald with about six months to go before the election. The poll released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University in Connecticut shows the Republican Kasich is ahead of FitzGerald 50 percent to 35 percent. The same poll in February had Kasich leading by a 43-to-38 percent margin. The May 7-12 survey notes that many Ohioans still don’t know much about FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga County executive. The survey said 63 percent of voters don’t know enough about FitzGerald to form an opinion of him. Fifty-six percent of Ohioans questioned approve of the job Kasich is doing. The survey of 1,174 Ohio voters has a margin of error of just under 3 percentage points. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A new poll shows Ohio Gov. John Kasich widening his lead over Democratic challenger

Value Engineering Study that was the justification for the current destruction. The study shows alternatives to the massive plan. It also appears that one reason the city chose to bury the park and build a giant levee was to avoid oversight by the state (called alienation) and having to provide adequate alternative park space during construction.

News coverage Hundreds march in opposition of the East Side Coastal Resiliency project By Dean Moses, amNY, April 18, 2021 Emily Johnson is of the Yup’ik Nation, and is an avid water and land activist. She is a strong believer that climate justice is racial justice and is one of hundreds of Lower East Side residents against the ESCR project. She says that this plan is only a temporary fix that will destroy the trees in the East River Park and prevent individuals from freely accessing the open space. “We demand the city stop the demolition of East River Park. We demand a comprehensive outside environmental review of their plan. We demand immediate interim flood control; we demand a truly resilient plan. This city, Mayor de Blasio, our Council Member Carlina Rivera, they want us to accept their environmentally racist plan,” Johnson said, adding, “The city wants us to accept a $1.5 billion plan that is only temporary, it is not resilient, destroys our park, and for years makes our community vulnerable.” Great pictures, too! Protesters march against plans to demolish East River Park BY AMY YENSI, MANHATTAN, NY1, April 18, 2021 “We had a plan that the community worked on for years, planing everything, going over structures and then the mayor unilaterally decided, without community input, that the way to save the park was to destroy it for at least 5 years,” said resident Judy Capel.

Blog: Anti-Asian Hate: One Year After the Pandemic In July 2021, The Learning Network, a Canadian group that develops resources for ending gender-based violence, published an article called Examining the Intersections of Anti-Asian Racism and Gender-Based Violence in Canada. At the article’s outset is a startling statistic: “More than 1000 cases of anti-Asian racism have been reported by community organizations in Canada, in which Asian women made up close to 60% of reported victims. Canada is now reported to have more anti-Asian racism reports per capita than the United States” (p. 1). The rise of racism and xenophobia — specifically against people of Asian descent — has been on the rise in North America since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

On Monday, Nancy Pelosi announced the House’s imminent vote in formalizing the next steps to impeach the 45th president of the United States. (Meanwhile, they have no workable candidate to beat that same president a year from now). (#FAIL) As noted by Politico, the resolution will mark the chamber’s first impeachment floor vote since Dems launched their inquiry last month. Here’s what Nancy had to say in a letter to Democrats: “We are taking this step to eliminate any doubt as to whether the Trump Administration may withhold documents, prevent witness testimony, disregard duly authorized subpoenas, or continue obstructing the House of Representatives.” Continue! Nancy wasn’t so hip on impeachment in the beginning. But I guess she warmed up ot it. And she’s got 228 likeminded party peeps. But is it a trap? As noted by The Daily Caller, Nancy’s said she thinks Trump is “goading” Dems to impeach him, so as to galvanize his base. The guy does seem to be a wiley strategist. But goading isn’t really necessary to give him a boost — somehow, while gettin’ all pumped up over impeachment, the Democrats forgot that they’re supposed to come up with someone to run for president. At this point, a randomly-placed bear trap would catch as good of a candidate as they’ve come up with. That’s a substantial bonus added to the $1 million the GOP raised only one day after Nancy endorsed the “I” word. As for 2020, the more they journey down this road, it seems to me, they’ll be coming up on that nearby letter of the alphabet, “L,” for “lose.” Between now and then, I suppose they’ll stop off at Jeopardized and Kaput. Nice goin’. But they just can’t help themselves: Democrats have continued to send congressional subpoenas to those close to Trump for documents related to the ongoing scandal regarding Trump’s phone call with the President of Ukraine and whether Trump asked him to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for U.S. military aid to Ukraine. The House Intelligence, Foreign Affairs, and Oversight committees are all investigating Trump, his cabinet members, and closest allies. Trump’s sittin’ on goad. I mean, go. Pelosi previously said she would not hold a full vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry, which Trump has continued to call for. -ALEX See 3 more pieces from me: Find all my RedState work here.

Last night, the Democrats lost the governor race… and in epic fashion. Kamala Harris supported the Democrat Terry McAuliffe. Joe Biden supported Terry McAuliffe. Barack Obama supported Terry McAuliffe. But… the people did not support Terry McAuliffe. Now what will happen in 2022? If you listen to Leo Terrell, he says that if Terry loses, then the Democrats will lose in the mid-term elections next year. It is going to be an interesting year now that Virginia has new Republican governor. What do you think? Will the Democrats win in 2022?

There was a problem. Please refresh the page and try again. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) announced Wednesday afternoon that he will not run for re-election in 2024. His retirement in 2025 would likely mark the end of a high-profile career in elective politics, including a term as governor of Massachusetts and an unsuccessful run for president as the 2012 Republican nominee. Romney, elected to the Senate in 2018, told reporters that at 76, he and other baby boomers are "not the right ones to be making the decisions for tomorrow," that "the times we're living in demand the next generation step up" and decide the future of the world they are inheriting. Earlier Wednesday, Romney told The Washington Post he also thought another six years in the Senate would be less productive and less enjoyable than his first four years, pointing to the disarray among House Republicans and his lack of confidence in either of the two frontrunners for the 2024 presidential race, President Biden and former President Donald Trump. Subscribe to The Week Escape your echo chamber. Get the facts behind the news, plus analysis from multiple perspectives. Romney is Trump's most consistent GOP critic in Congress and the only Republican who voted to convict in both impeachment trials, at significant political cost. Romney acknowledged that his "wise wing" of the Republican Party was "very, very small" compared to the "Trump wing." That shift needn't be permanent, he told the Post, but right now "it's pretty clear that the party is inclined to a populist demagogue message." Romney was more pointed in McKay Coppins' upcoming biography, "Romney: A Reckoning," an excerpt of which was artfully published in The Atlantic on Wednesday. "A very large portion of my party," Romney told Coppins in late spring 2021, "really doesn't believe in the Constitution." Romney told Coppins that most Senate Republicans privately despise Trump as much as he does but won't say so publicly because of cynical calculations or a more justifiable fear for the safety of their families. He named names. Politics aside, Coppins wrote, Romney — who has a longstanding "morbid fascination with his own death" — also wants to spend his remaining years with his wife and unrealized pursuits.

This is from Nicolle Wallace’s show Monday on MSNBC; political contributor Dr. Jason Johnson explains that one of the reasons for President Joe Biden’s dropping poll numbers is that he’s not fighting back after the “punch in the gut” that was the storming of the Capitol Building on January 6. Johnson suggests that Biden turn his focus to terrorism, just as President George W. Bush did after 9/11. Part of why Biden's poll numbers are low is because Americans feel like they were punched in the gut on January 6th, and he hasn't fight back on our behalf. He should be talking about terror just as much as Bill Clinton and George Bush did for 20 years. pic.twitter.com/p1bH1qAkYn — Dr. Jason Johnson (@DrJasonJohnson) November 1, 2021 Biden's approval ratings are plummeting because he's not talking enough about 1/6, and not exploiting "terrorism" enough the way Clinton and George W. Bush did, according to this guest on @NicolleDWallace's show. Wallace is an expert at exploiting terrorism so maybe she can help: https://t.co/yn81UUBViK — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) November 2, 2021 How insulated do you have to be in cable green rooms, liberal op-ed pages and academia to believe that large swaths of the American population have lost faith in Joe Biden primarily because he doesn't spend enough time ranting and raving about 1/6? — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) November 2, 2021 https://twitter.com/CovfefeLover3/status/1455336166245474308 The detachment from reality is jarring on MSNBC .

Victims Fund - Provincial Territorial Program Funding Overview The Federal Victims Strategy consolidates all federal government work related to victims of crime into one objective: to give victims a more effective voice in the criminal justice system. The Victims Fund provides grants and contributions to support projects and activities that encourage the development of new approaches, promote access to justice, improve the capacity of service providers, foster the establishment of referral networks, and/or increase awareness of services available to victims of crime and their families. The Fund does not provide criminal injuries compensation for victims of crime. The provincial territorial program funding component of the Victims Fund supports the implementation of federal and provincial/territorial legislation for victims of crime, particularly provisions of the Criminal Code (such as victim impact statements, publication bans, restitution, victim surcharge, testimonial aids, etc.). In addition, it supports provincial victims’ legislation and the Canadian Statement of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime through the development and enhancement of police, court, Crown or system-based victim assistance programs, conferences, public legal education and similar initiatives. Who is eligible? Who can apply for this funding? This component is accessible only by provincial and territorial governments. Objectives The objectives of the Victims Fund are to: - promote access to justice and participation by victims in the justice system; - promote the development of law, policies and programs for victims; - promote the implementation of principles, guidelines and laws designed to address the needs of victims of crime and articulate the victim’s role in the criminal justice system; - increase knowledge and awareness of the impact of victimization, the needs of victims of crime, available services, assistance and programs, and relevant legislation; - encourage governmental and non-governmental organizations to identify victim needs and gaps in services, and develop and deliver programs, services and assistance to victims; and, - promote capacity-building within non-governmental organizations. Activities/Projects What types of activities qualify for funding? This funding can be used to assist in the implementation of federal and provincial/territorial legislation for victims of crime, particularly provisions of the Criminal Code (such as victim impact statements, publication bans, restitution, victim surcharge, testimonial aids, etc.). In addition, funding can be available for implementation of provincial victims’ legislation and the Canadian Statement of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime through the development and enhancement of police, court, Crown or system-based victim assistance programs, conferences, public legal education and similar initiatives. Points to Consider Please note that funding is limited, and therefore, not all eligible proposals will be funded. The Department of Justice thanks you for taking the time to complete and submit an application for funding. What improves the chances of having a successful funding application? The review of the application could take 4 to 6 months to complete. Please consider this in deciding the start date for the project(s). Please respond to each question in the application/proposal form. A project has a greater chance of securing funding if there are other partners, as well as demonstrated support from organizations in the community. When is the deadline to submit a funding application? There is no deadline for submitting funding applications under this component. Proposals are approved, in part, based on the availability of funding. How to Apply for Funding To apply for funding, please fill out the Funding Application Form. Official Languages In support of Section 41 of the Official Languages Act, the Department is committed to facilitating the participation of official language minority communities and their organizations in the development and assessment of the Department's policies, programs and services having significant impact on the development of the communities; and to take measures to ensure that the Department of Justice's programs and services reach official language minority communities. In the context of project funding, these measures include: - outreach to official language minority communities to enhance their understanding of the Department of Justice funding programs; and - encouraging contacts between organizations that are receiving financial assistance and official language minority organizations/groups to ensure that the needs of these communities are taken into consideration in relation to the proposed projects to be considered for Department of Justice Canada funding. Sustainable Development The Department of Justice encourages applicants to submit proposals electronically. If you submit your application on paper, please consider printing on both sides of the paper. These actions will minimize environmental impacts.

Walsh, Tester celebrate summer meetings with hundreds of Montana students Senators praise students’ engagement and interest in government (U.S. SENATE) – Senators John Walsh and Jon Tester this summer welcomed over 400 students of all ages from schools across Montana to Washington, D.C. “Meeting with Montana students is one of the highlights of my job, and strengthens my belief that Montana’s future is in strong hands,” Walsh said. “They come to Washington with complex questions, showing how engaged they are in improving their education and the current events in our state and country. I look forward to meeting more students and educators across the state.” “Meeting with students reminds me how critical it is to get an education in civics,” said Tester, a former teacher. “These kids impressed me with their understanding of tough issues. They’re proof that our schools are doing good work preparing our next generation of leaders.” The students traveled to Washington, D.C. through various programs, including Close Up, National Youth Leadership Conference, and 4H. Pictures of Walsh and Tester visiting with the students can be found HERE. Sens.

To the Honorable the House of Representatives at its January Session, A. D. 1878: The Committee on Education to whom was referred the several petitions and memorials asking that the Constitution be so amended. that "no citizen of Rhode Island shall be disfranchised on account of sex," respectfully submit the following report: Petitions for the above object, signed by 379 male and 647 female citizens, were before your Committee. Two public hearings have been held, and the fullest opportunity granted to all who desired, to be heard. Your Committee have given this subject their careful attention, and all the arguments presented have been duly considered. We herewith present our conclusions. 1st. We are unanimously agreed that it would be neither right or expedient to grant the full prayer of the petitioners. 2d. We are also unanimous in the opinion that unmarried women and widows, who are resident tax payers in any town or city, should be permitted to vote on questions directly involving the expenditure of money. We therefore recommend the passage of the following resolution: Resolved a majority of all the members elected to each house of the General Assembly concuring herein--that the following article be proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the State, and the Secretary of State cause the same to be published, and printed copies thereof to be distributed in the manner provided in Article XIII of the Constitution. Upon any proposition to impose a tax, or to appropriate money, or in any election of a City Council of any city, unmarried women and widows shall have the privilege of voting-subject to the same regulations and limitations as men.

| | Contributors Ken Masugi- Columnist Ken Masugi is the Director of the Claremont Institute's Center for Local Government. Its purpose is to apply the principles of the American Founding to the theory and practice of local government, the cradle of American self-government. Dr. Masugi has extensive experience in government and academia. Following his initial appointment at the Claremont Institute (1982-86), he was a special assistant to then-Chairman Clarence Thomas of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. After his years in Washington, he held visiting university appointments including Olin Distinguished Visiting Professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Dr. Masugi is co-author with Brian Janiskee of both The California Republic: Institutions, Statesmanship, and Policies (Rowman & Littlefield, 2004) and Democracy in California: Politics and Government in the Golden State (Rowman & Littlefield, 2002). He is co-editor of six books on political thought, including The Supreme Court and American Constitutionalism with Branford P. Wilson, (Ashbrook Series, 1997); The Ambiguous Legacy of the Enlightenment with William Rusher, (University Press, 1995); The American Founding with J. Jackson Barlow and Leonard W. Levy, (Greenwood Press, 1988). He is the editor of Interpreting Tocqueville's Democracy in America, (Rowman & Littlefield, 1991). [go to Masugi index] Budget Battle Centers on Restoring Self-Government Who stands for property rights? [Ken Masugi] 7/20/04 Arnold Schwarzenegger's governorship could be the most important in California history, the one that unlocks the stranglehold of liberal interest groups on the governance of the Golden State and revives the fundamental principle of self-government. In the case of California, that requires major surgery, not two aspirin. In his inaugural address, Governor Schwarzenegger spoke to the point of wanting to "blow up the boxes." Let us help him light some fuses. In the current dispute over the budget it is easy to overlook what is at stake: the principle of self-government. Entangled in the budget debate, the current proposals for local government reform are not only inadequate—they actually aggravate the problem. Without such principles we will lose all direction and be unable to distinguish between compromises over tactics and trivia, and compromises over principles. Let us first acknowledge the fundamental role of local governments in revitalizing the California dream. If Americans can't govern themselves locally, how can they govern themselves on the state or federal level? If self-government is gone, so is our entire way of life. Responsible local self-government cannot occur unless citizens have the authority to permit cities and counties to tax themselves. Then local governments have authority, responsibility, and accountability. Those who elect them—often from their neighbors—can determine whether the monies collected are spent wisely or foolishly. Those who tax should also be those who spend. And the voters who pay the taxes should have the ability to vote out those local officials who fail them. As the governor knows, California's present financial arrangements have undermined this common-sense notion of responsibility. In 1978, Californians wisely limited local governments in raising the property tax by passing Proposition 13. An unfortunate, unintended consequence of the measure was the deterioration of local governments' responsibility. A premium was put on their ability to lobby Sacramento for their property tax funds—and as you well know the increase of power there has done nothing to increase Sacramento's accountability. Far from it. The whole state gradually went out of kilter. But the proposed remedy for Californians' drastic actions, Proposition 65, the ill-named "Local Taxpayers and Public Safety Protection Act" does not bring us back to self-government. For one, Proposition 65 does not get to the heart of the problem—the lack of accountability. For 25 years, the lure of sales tax revenues set local government against local government, in the pursuit of revenue-raising businesses. Again, the local priorities became distorted. Redevelopment agencies flourished under such temptations, which too often prove to be fanciful condemnation of supposedly "blighted" areas. They wielded arbitrary power in local communities and invited corruption by virtually seizing private property for alleged public benefit. A lack of local authority has begotten not just irresponsibility but injustice, as some see homes and businesses gone, to please a majority on the local redevelopment agency. A further injustice is that Proposition 65 aggravates the problems of unfairness and unaccountability. Under current law, it would return Orange County only 7% of the property taxes received from it. (By comparison, Los Angeles County gets 21%, San Francisco 64%.) While many parts of southern California should be outraged by this bullying, no community should be satisfied with such meager returns. What has been missing in this debate, and from public action for many years, is a respect for property rights—not the rights of the wealthy but the rights of everyone to acquire and retain the wealth of their labors, whatever their occupation. Sacramento's concern has instead been to expand government programs and reward its favorites. In doing so it has distorted the housing market, increased regulation, and driven out businesses. If Sacramento had instead respected individuals' rights to their property and labor, they would have protected the homeowner (and the would-be homeowner), the entrepreneur, and all others who are raising their families, and many more would now be enjoying the California dream. Any system of reforming the place of local government should keep in mind these concerns—local accountability and respect for property rights. They form the heart of self-government. At the end of a great action movie, the great treasure of the Ark is buried in a pile of boxes in a government warehouse. That Ark is self-government. The boxes are the barriers and programs Sacramento has created over the years. Let's blow up those bureaucratic boxes and retrieve self-government. CRO copyright 2004 Claremont Institute.

08 Sep Democracy: Principle Quotations Relating to the Great Idea “(Democracy) is the worst of all lawful governments, and the best of all lawless ones.” -Plato “When the representative is one man, then is the commonwealth a monarchy; when an assembly of all that will come together, then it is a democracy, or popular commonwealth; when an assembly of a part only, then it is called an aristocracy.” -Thomas Hobbes “The ideally best form of government is that in which the sovereignty, or supreme controlling power in the last resort, is vested in the entire aggregate of the community, every citizen not only having a voice in the exercise of that ultimate sovereignty, but being, at least occasionally, called on to take an actual part in the government, by the personal discharge of some public function, local or general.” -John Stewart Mills “(In democracy) the whole power of education is required.” -Montesquieu “Bureaucracy inevitably accompanies modern mass democracy in contrast to the democratic self-government of small homogeneous units.” -Max Weber “It is only the Athenians, who, fearless of consequences, confer their benefits not from calculations of expediency, but in the confidence of liberality.” -Thucydides “The violent destruction of life and property[…]” Excerpt From: Dr. Chad Redwing. “Culture and Values of the Western World: Syntopical Course Guide.” Available for purchase at iBookstore and Kobo.

This issue comes to you in what’s typically the dead season for my line of work. For its part, the Statesman asserts that Austin is slowly rebounding from the dot-com bust, with “signs of growing prosperity (that) are widespread, but are subtle and hard to recognize.”1 Yeah, as in hard to find, verging on nonexistent. Yet, amid the lengthening shadows that rebuke the autumn sunlight, I pace my apartment, muttering, and talk to myself in the mirrors, rehearsing for the in-person interviews for potential jobs that haven’t vanished into the ether. This even includes encounters with that hitherto chimerical beast, the full-time permanent job.2 I visited Parmer South to apply for a technical editor position. One of the agency’s personality profile questions asked whether I think modern art even qualifies as art, or words to that effect, in five easy-to-categorize choices, ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.” I’d love to know the rationale for this question. The trade-off to this flurry of interest from companies: It impinges on the time I have available to stroll through the Crestview and Shoal Creek neighborhoods in the sere sunshine hours. The mature suburban scenery and ambience silently plead to be transmuted into a literary narrative’s descriptive passages. Austin Death Watch My problems extend beyond my immediate job status. Dell laid off more workers,3 in the largest number since the last recession. On Nov. 8, county voters OK’d more than $150 million in additional debt for things we can’t afford.4 The Chronicle reports that the zoning ordinances the city imposed to “protect” East Austin have made it easier for upscale developments to drive out blacks and browns. So much for protection.5 At the same time, local officials finally broke ground on the Mexican American Cultural Center, after multiple delays over the years.6 A woman who broke her neck crowd surfing at a concert at Stubb’s is suing the venue.7 A state district court sentenced a former Austin police officer to three months in jail for groping suspects.8 City officials held a public meeting Nov. 9 to address a coyote problem in West Austin.9 That’s easy enough to solve. Just give the coyotes Acme equipment.10 Meanwhile, “worm-grubbing armadillos” are wrecking the greens at the Golf Club at Circle C.11 Political Follies Statewide, Texas voters approved Proposition 2, to ban “marriage” between abnormals, by 3 to 1. However, Travis County residents voted against it by nearly 60 percent. In fact, Travis is the only county not to approve the constitutional amendment.12 No wonder I can’t get a date around here.13 Scarier, the Chronicle’s editorial board somehow managed to agree with my positions, and even my reasoning, on this election’s amendments.14 What’s next, a plague of locusts?15 In California, voters terminated Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ballot measures. In the movies, the Aryan muscleman played a relentless tough guy; in real life, the state’s political players, notably the Democrat-dominated Assembly, have jerked the statist sympathizer around since he took office.16 Let’s all aspire to say hasta la vista to his political career.17 Predictably, Mike Bloomberg, incumbent and multimillionaire, beat main challenger Fernando Ferrer for New York City mayor.18 Nevertheless, Ferrer had the catchiest campaign jingle. Al Sharpton, however, really could’ve used some dance lessons.19 TCLP Treasurer Art DiBianca told me the Texas Green Party has been turned over to the Texas attorney general's office for collection of debts. He’s behind the curve. I already bought it at a resale shop on North Loop Boulevard during that neighborhood’s Oct. 22 block party. It was sitting between ‘50s-esque20 nightstands and a pile of used T-shirts, and had already been marked down. As the new boss, I’m reorganizing the party and shifting the Greens’ efforts back to that of their predecessors; namely: a) restoring the Byzantine Empire,21 with the throne in Constantinople to be occupied by pretender Franz Josef Otto Robert Maria Anton Karl Max Heinrich Sixtus Xavier Felix Renudwig Gaetano Pius Ignazius von Habsburg-Lotharingen22 (“…also known as the rat”);23 and b) chariot racing.24 Dubya has nominated economist Ben Bernanke to be the new chairman of the Federal Reserve System.25 If the Senate confirms Bernanke, he’ll replace Alan Greenspan, who, sadly, is the best we can ever hope for as Fed chairman.26 Anyone better would push to abolish the organization, which was established in 1913, ostensibly to eliminate monetary boom-bust whipsaws in the economy.27 Since then, the Fed’s presided over recessions or depressions in 1918-19, 1920-21,28 1923-24, 1926-27,29 1929-42,30 1945, 1948-49, 1953-54, 1957-58, 1960-61,31 1969-70,32 1973-75,33 1980,34 1981-82,35 1990-91, and 2001. Those are just the official dates from the National Bureau of Economic Research. Sometimes the malaise lingers after. In between these contractions, the Fed’s given us inflation, most notoriously from the early 1960s to the early 1980s.36 Sometimes we get both, as in the stagflation of the 1930s 37 and the 1970s through the early ‘80s.38 Today each basic Federal Reserve Note, a.k.a., “a dollar,” buys about 4 cents worth of goods or services.39 Greenspan actually knows better.40 To be charitable, he may have been constrained as chairman from making necessary but radical changes for the better, because doing so entailed more clout than he possessed, or because he couldn’t impose changes without creating adverse effects elsewhere. Bernanke, however, is on record that fiat currency can create prosperity, and that the Fed won’t permit deflation.41 On the Town Oct. 15: Seen downtown: a Mercedes C230 sedan with vanity license plates: I-SU-4-U. Wanna guess what the driver does for a living? Oct. 23: I attended the grand opening of The Diamond Ballroom, at 2410 E. Riverside Dr. It’s the successor to Pedro’s Place, which was the successor to Miguel’s.42 I recognized about three dozen people, most of whom jostled me in the narrow pathways between tables on the way to the dance floor. Oct. 29: In the meshes of the afternoon,43 I saw cineaste Harry Knowles44 at the Fall Austin Record Convention.45 That night, after the crepuscule firmament ceased resembling a chocolate-stripped shortbread cookie, with coconut flakes, I attended the Go Dance costume party as Frank Zappa from the ‘80s, when he started wearing wavo-width neckwear and Italian suits, “like an upscale nuovo cucina restaurateur.”46 However, applying the prosthetic imperial took at least an hour, and I looked more like Michael Imperioli47 playing Peter Erskine.48 Or maybe vice versa. Anyway, I don’t have the prominent proboscis49 to physically imitate the latter-day composer.50 Regardless, only one partier asked who I was supposed to be. I was unique at the studio,51 for sure.52 If I had a grand for every woman dressed like a cat, I could pay off the balance on my car. That’s what happened to one woman. She dressed like a pumpkin and at midnight she turned into an SUV, thereby interrupting the Jack and Jill dance competitions.53 Sulu the Bufu, and Other Cultural Atrocities George “Mr. Sulu” Takei just came out of the closet (insert multitude of obvious jokes here).54 That’s because in Hollywood, a homo is still more respectable than a Trekkie.55 In the real world, I coincidentally witnessed an art movie audience audibly dismissively guffaw at the trailer for “Brokeback Mountain,” about same-sex love between cowboys.56 The Chronicle reports on the local programming shifts planned when Howard Stern departs from broadcast radio in mid-December.57 I’d heard Stern a few times before, scanning station frequencies in my car, and I’ve been aware of his existence for more than two decades,58 but I was indifferent to his shtick until Angela Keaton bitched about him on her old radio show.59 Afterward, for some reason, he seemed a lot funnier, so I kept the dial on Stern’s local affiliate, if the scanner found it and his show was on, while driving to my Vignette and ERCOT contracts. Neighborhood News Original Pancake House off West Parmer Lane merited mention in the Chronicle’s “Best of ‘05” issue. I’ve eaten there. It’s just OK.60 Chef Masaharu Morimoto, star of the Food Network’s “Iron Chef,” has teamed up with restaurateurs Paul Ardaji Sr. and Paul Ardaji Jr. (friend of Tucker Max), to create a chain restaurant, Pauli Moto’s Asian Bistro. One is scheduled to open at The Domain in summer 2007.61 Nearby, Home Depot will anchor The Shops at Arbor Walk mall project.62 Encore moved from the Crossroads shopping plaza to 1745 W. Anderson Lane the first week of November. Now I’ll have to use Blockbuster as my default neighborhood video store again.

Scott Adams says that Carpe Donktum is one of the best political satirists out there, with Twitter as his canvas. This impeachment rundown supports that. The Impeachment So Far, a catch up thread Dems: We have an airtight case against the President Reps: Ok, go ahead Dems: Trump and his staff came up with a plot to withhold funding to Ukraine contingent on the announcement of investigations into Joe Biden’s son. AN ABUSE OF POWER, then he obstructed out investigation!Reps: Oh gee that sounds bad. Dems: It gets worse, he also withheld a meeting with the new President of Ukraine unless he complied. Reps: WOW. That poor man, when will they get the money? Dems: Oh, they already got the money. A few weeks before the deadline.Reps: Wait, he got the money? Are they going to withdraw the investigations? Dems: He never announced the investigations, but Trump asked them to investigate in their meeting. Reps: Wait, THEY HAD THE MEETING? Dems: Well yeah, they had a meetingReps: So let me makes sure I have this right, Trump gave them the money before the deadline, they didn’t announce any investigations and they got the meeting. Dems: Yes Reps: And you investigated this? Dems: Of course we did, we had to, the president clearly has bad motives.Reps: and you found proof of this? Dems: Absolutely, one guy overheard someone else on the phone talking to Trump about the whole scheme. Reps: Like on speaker phone? Dems: Not exactly, more like across the table in a crowded restaurant, not on speakerphone.Reps: I see, I suppose he destroyed all the evidence, thus the obstruction. Dems: Well no, first he declassified the meeting transcripts, BUT then he said he had executive privilege or some nonsense. Reps: What did the court say? Dems: What court?Reps: Didn’t you take him to court to get the records? Dems: There was no time, we can’t have a president extorting foreign countries. LOL MAN, are you crazy? Reps: Just a second, let me catch my breath. Dems: Shocking isn’t it.Reps: To recap, Trump gave Ukraine a meeting, the funding, no investigations were launched, declassified the meeting, and offered to go to let the courts decide on executive privilege, and you impeached based on an overheard phone call and the fact that you were in a hurry?Dems: Well… when you say it like that it makes us sound silly. But you’ll see when we call new witnesses during the Senate phase. Reps: YOU HAVEN’T EVEN INTERVIEWED ALL THE WITNESSES YET? Dems: Well, no but we did interview a few low level staffers. Reps: *looks around* Dems: *grins confidently* Reps: You are fucking crazy. FIN.

Mark Levine’s 2012 Election Prediction – Obama 332 — Romney 206 Obama will win 332 Electoral Votes to Romney’s 206. Florida will be very very very close. Democrats pick up a seat (including independent Angus King in Maine) in the Senate to increase their majority to 54 seats. Democrats win 5-10 seats in the House. Obama wins 26 States & DC: FL less than 1 point — this state is the I’m most likely to be wrong about. But if it does go to Romney, it will be by less than 1 point. Still I predict Obama ekes out an EXTREMELY tight victory. VA 0-2 points CO 0-2 points OH 2-4 points IA 2-5 points NH 2-5 points WI 3-6 points NV 3-6 points MI more than 5 points (but not much more) PA more than 5 points (but not much more) MN more than 5 points NM more than 5 points DC, MD, DE, NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, VT, ME (including the Second Congressional District), IL, CA, OR, WA, HI Romney wins the other 24 states, all by margins of more than 5 points, except NC where he ekes out a narrow victory of 1-3 points.

Left-wing third-party presidential candidate Cornel West has slammed Joe Biden as “mediocre” and “milquetoast” before telling the Democrat president to “get off the crack pipe.” Appearing on KBLA’s Tavis Smiley podcast, West claimed he is not taking votes away from Biden, which is a big fear for Democrats. Biden is hugely unpopular and can’t make a speech without embarrassing himself. So he needs the entire Democrat coalition behind him to have a chance in 2024. “When somebody chooses to vote for you, you’re not pulling votes away,” West said. “You see, Biden doesn’t own any votes. “He’s got to earn it. He’s got to earn it. “If the Democrats are putting out mediocre, milquetoast, neoliberal politicians who can’t say a mumbling word about militarism, can’t say a mumbling word about a serious response to poverty, can’t say a mumbling word about serious white supremacist practices — I mean, Biden himself said America is not a racist society. “I said, ‘Get off the crack pipe.’ “If they produced a candidate that spoke to the needs of precious poor and working-class folk, they wouldn’t have me. “They wouldn’t have to deal with that. “They’ve got a corporate wing of the Democratic Party that does not treat the progressive wing right. “It’s shown over and over again. “You know, I supported Bernie twice. “I supported Biden the last time. “I did because I thought that Trump’s fascism was such that we had to fight. “Does that mean that we’re choosing between a neo-fascist catastrophe and a neoliberal disaster? “That every Democratic president can say, ‘I’m not almighty, but I am the alternative. You all have no other choice to vote for me.’ “And then when he gets in there, he wouldn’t be in there if it wasn’t for black folks, especially black women.” WATCH:

The End of the Future Trauma, Memory, and Reconciliation in Peruvian Amazonia To give context to the causes and consequences of the MRTA's presence in the lower and central Huallaga, this book relies on the written works and testimony of Sístero García Torres, an MRTA rebel commander; the government's Truth and Reconciliation Commission; MRTA propaganda; media accounts; and critical historical texts. Besides exposing Huallaga Valley human rights abuses, the book's contribution to political anthropology is consequential for its insistence that reconciliation is by no means equivalent to local, Indigenous notions of "justice" or customary forms of dispute resolution. Without deliberately addressing the diverse socio-cultural contours defining overlapping epistemologies of justice, freedom, and communal wellbeing, enduring reconciliation will likely remain elusive.

he polls have opened in three by-elections where defeats would heighten Conservative fears that Rishi Sunak will struggle to lead them to another Commons majority. The seats of Uxbridge and South Ruislip in west London, Selby and Ainsty in North Yorkshire, and Somerton and Frome in Somerset, are all up for grabs, with polls closing at 10pm. Results are expected in the early hours of Friday. The Prime Minister braced MPs at a meeting of the 1922 Committee of Tory backbenchers on the eve of the polls that they face a “tough battle”. The three seats were left empty by outgoing Conservative MPs – former prime minister Boris Johnson and Nigel Adams – and former Tory David Warburton. Constituents will need photo ID in order to vote.

Washington, D.C. – Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden joined their Senate and House colleagues to introduce the Supreme Court Ethics Act, requiring the Judicial Conference of the United States to create a code of ethical conduct for the Supreme Court of the United States. The legislation would also require the appointment of an Ethics Investigations Counsel and require justices to publicly disclose recusal decisions. “The Supreme Court is making life-altering decisions threatening Americans’ reproductive rights, workers’ bargaining power, voting rights, clean air, and so much more—yet, unlike other federal judges, they have no restrictions on their conflicts of interest,” said Senator Merkley. “Strengthening the code of ethics for the Supreme Court protects our democracy and helps ensure that the highest court in our ‘We the People’ democracy works for the people, not just the powerful.” “The highest ethical standards and our nation’s highest court must go hand in hand,” Wyden said. “This legislation ensuring that happens by applying the same code of ethics to the nine justices that all other federal judges live by would give all Americans confidence that Supreme Court decisions are free from conflicts of interest.” The Supreme Court Ethics Act would: - Create a statutory requirement for the Judicial Conference of the United States to issue a code of conduct that applies to the Supreme Court; - Direct the Supreme Court to appoint an Ethics Investigations Counsel who will establish a process for the public to report information about potentially unethical conduct by the Justices and to issue a public annual report on the disposition of allegations and investigations; - Empower the Ethics Investigations Counsel to conduct their own investigations into potential violations of the code of conduct; - Require Justices who recuse themselves from a case to publicly disclose the reason; - Require Justices who deny a proper motion to recuse to publicly disclose the reason. This legislation was led by U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and U.S. Representative Hank Johnson (D-Ga.). Alongside Wyden and Merkley, the bill was cosponsored by U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Tom Carper (D-Del.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.). “Every federal judge is bound by a code of ethics – except for the nine who sit on the highest court in the country. Trust in the Supreme Court is at a historic low because the American people see justices hide their conflicts of interest and openly engage in political behavior. This legislation would help restore some lost faith by requiring the Judicial Conference to create a code of ethics for Supreme Court justices. It’s a simple, non-partisan solution to increase transparency, enforce accountability, and start to rebuild public confidence in the Court,” said Sen. Chris Murphy. “This isn’t a conservative-liberal justice problem – it’s an American Democracy [capital D] problem when the court regularly faces challenging ethical questions, and because of their crucial and prominent role, the justices receive intense public scrutiny for their choices,” said Rep. Hank Johnson, ranking member of the House Judiciary subcommittee on courts. “As we read more and more about the dealing of the court, it continues to show us what’s going on behind the curtain, more and more of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will be calling for justices to bind themselves to a code of ethics.” “The Supreme Court of the Unites States ought to be the embodiment of objectivity. As reports of ethically questionable behavior by Justices continue to surface, Congress must close the inexcusable ‘Supreme Court loophole’ in federal judicial ethics rules by creating and enforcing a code of ethics for Supreme Court Justices. The Supreme Court Ethics Act is a common sense step that we can take to ensure impartiality in deliberations, help reverse the troubling trajectory of public trust in the Court, and hold its Justices to the highest of ethical standards,” said Durbin, chair of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
